NEW YORK and TEL AVIV — Sentra, a data security company, announced that Capital One Ventures has led a strategic capital investment of $150 million in the company, joining existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, Zeev Ventures, Standard Investments, Munich Re Ventures and Key1 Capital. As part of the investment, a Capital One representative will join Sentra’s board of directors.
Sentra, based in New York and Israel, reports more than 300% year-over-year growth, as enterprises turn to Sentra to understand their data, control which identities, human and AI, can access it, and keep it governed and protected for AI and autonomous agents.
“AI agents are now the busiest consumers of enterprise data, and many of them inherit access to data that hasn’t been fully classified or governed,” said Yoav Regev, co-founder and CEO of Sentra. “Traditional perimeter controls weren’t built for agents moving at machine speed. What organizations can do is make sure the data those agents reach is already secured. Sentra protects data where it lives and controls which identities, human and AI, can reach it, so organizations can deploy AI more quickly while staying in control. This investment lets us bring agentic data security to every enterprise putting agents to work.”
The funding will be used to accelerate Sentra’s innovation in agentic data security: broad visibility into agents, copilots and models and the sensitive data they touch, continuous least privilege for human and non-human identities, protection of data at rest before agents reach it, and rapid containment when an agent behaves unexpectedly.
Sentra will also expand its go-to-market by scaling its field and channel programs, growing its brand and marketing, and entering new geographies.
